    Vegetable Omelette

    Omelette to Personalize

    Ah the omelette, a versatile classic often reinvented by cooks! Eggs are definitely underestimated. As for omelettes, they are often made with vegetables, fresh herbs, and smoked meats. Plus, it’s a nutritious, economical, and quick recipe to make. We love the simplicity of omelettes… and not only for breakfast!

    Needless to say that versions containing lots of ingredients are usually more nutritious. It’s an easy way to reach satiety at any time of the day, whether for breakfast with fresh bread or for dinner with a salad side. 

    Plus, omelettes are the perfect clean-out-the-fridge recipe to avoid wasting withered vegetables.

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS: Why not make a crudités platter to save all your vegetables?
